@@DavidJohnson-yq4nz It wasn't the standing ovation that they had an issue with. Most players got them. It was more they both always felt that Graph didn't do enough work as the top dominate player to advance the sport the way both Chris and Martina (and certainly BJK ). It was a change in generation where she was taking getting the money and success that the previous generation worked so hard to create and didn't seem grateful.

How inspiring to see such a grand bunch of tennis troopers! Some of those playing in the late '30's to '50's just have to be in their mid 80's to mid 90's, at this reunion/presentation event, most of them -- amazingly still looking spry -- our hats off to them all! Terrific to see some of my old favorites again, of 45+ years ago, still looking great in 2000. I don't know how many hours I was glued to the tube watching some of these players, years ago, but it's really nice to see them so many years later! I'm watching this in mid-2022 and some of the early players have gone on to their eternal reward now, but we thank all of the players for entertaining us so well, for so long, bless them all. Thank you for this post, it was wonderful though a bit emotional to see all the players again!

Just saw this terrific array of champions from my and previous and later eras. Seeing those aussie champs from the sixties was really special. I was a ball boy in 1969 at Aust. Open in Brisbane for Laver, Roche, Court, King, Casals, Gonzalez etc. I carried out racquets for Laver and Gonzalez for centre court matches in 1969 - Pancho had 7 racquets all with his name embossed on the covers !! I thought that was the height of stardom !!!! Try carrying 7 racquets as an 11 year old !! I carried Billie Jeans racquets on before a match and after she won she gave me 2 x 20c coins to go and buy us soft drinks and we sat down and chatted in the players area for a time. When Laver played Roche in the semi-final that year it was the longest match in Open history, the players came off after the 3rd set i think to shower and change, the line umpires and ball boys all changed over but i gave my 50c payment to some kid and i took his place to go back out. I knew something special was happening. Laver, Roche, probably the central umpire and me were the only ones to be on the court for the whole match. That's my claim to fame and no-one can take that off me. Laver was the greatest.

It is prior to and beyond every description. Rafa is not superhuman. On the contrary, he is fully human - he fully embraces suffering, he fully breathes self-doubt, he fully respects each and every player, each and every human being across the planet, he fully respects every tennis 🎾 racquet if he's not smashed a single one, he fully loves Real Madrid, he fully respects Roger and Novak, he fully loves humanity.

Chris and Martina are such besties. Sitting there chatting away and happy for each other.
Они лучшие!их соперничество-выдающееся в женском теннисе всех времен
Don’t look hay when Steffi appears
They look a shade subdued when Steffi gets her standing ovation
@@DavidJohnson-yq4nz It wasn't the standing ovation that they had an issue with. Most players got them. It was more they both always felt that Graph didn't do enough work as the top dominate player to advance the sport the way both Chris and Martina (and certainly BJK ). It was a change in generation where she was taking getting the money and success that the previous generation worked so hard to create and didn't seem grateful.
A who's who of tennis from the 20th century. Sadly, many of them are not around today. I've never seen a collection of champions such as this before or since. It brings back so many good memories of watching matches.
Me too,sad to miss him but I''m still around
@@rodolfovalencia1637 We are all glad you're still around, Rodolfo.
Bueno
J M... it was sad that many Great Champions alive at the time were not able to assist... and of course many others died before the year 2000.
my hero was great Rod laver
What a fantastic lineup. And more fantastic that Ivanisevic won the year after!
Delighted to see all those greats. The grace of the beautiful Chris Evert... Stefi Graff and Boris Becker, Bjorn Borg, McEnroe.... This video will be a classic collection... May God bless them all and their families...!!
Especially America's Miss Chrissie Aborting Evert
Yeah I love who they talked about how great of a business man Becker is, now in Jail for 2 years for fraud ha ahaahaha
STEFFI
Hats off for gathering all the rare gems of winning title in Wimbledon and honoring them. A rare sight of shining stars together with their honours.
It was pleasure to see past Champions 🏆 like Bjon, Stefan, Becker, McEnroe, Ivanisevic, Martina, Steffi, Chris, Conchita, Davenport... Thank you Wimbledon for this Galaxy of your Stars... 🌟
i think this was the year 2000
Stefan Edberg, great eulogy and what an ovation.
Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi later that day speaking over wedding ! Wedding was one year later - as far as I know only couple of Wimbledon champions ! Good luck -still together !!
How inspiring to see such a grand bunch of tennis troopers! Some of those playing in the late '30's to '50's just have to be in their mid 80's to mid 90's, at this reunion/presentation event, most of them -- amazingly still looking spry -- our hats off to them all! Terrific to see some of my old favorites again, of 45+ years ago, still looking great in 2000. I don't know how many hours I was glued to the tube watching some of these players, years ago, but it's really nice to see them so many years later! I'm watching this in mid-2022 and some of the early players have gone on to their eternal reward now, but we thank all of the players for entertaining us so well, for so long, bless them all. Thank you for this post, it was wonderful though a bit emotional to see all the players again!
How wonderful to see the old greats of Wimbledon...😊😊
Fabulous clip Steffi and the applause and Stefan Edberg
Nostalgic tennis memories. I am not a tennis player but mad about the game. Rod Laver, Margaret Court, Chris evert, Steffi Graf, Agassi, and many others come to mind.
Yeah, I am Especially Mad about America's Miss Chrissie Aborting Evert
Wimbledon recognising and reintroducing past champions is really commendable!!
They should have given tribute to those who couldn’t come like connors
There’s my lovely Rod Laver. The greatest.
This is so special. Watching in 2022. Even though I’m English, was always a fan of John McEnroe and Martina, but, it was good to have a British winner in 1977 Silver Jubilee year, well done Ms Wade.
this was sorta emotional for me...incredible, how attached you get to "the players of your day". I grew up, watching SEVERAL of these players.
So did I. I grew up in tennis' heyday, the 70s and 80s ... the days of Evert, Navratilova, McEnroe, Connors, Lendl, Graf, Agassi, Becker and more.
Yeah I love how they honor lesbians, and Chrissie who sacrificed a baby for her career. Who gives glory to Jesus Christ? The everlasting glories will be different in God's Kingdom.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ what a walk down the memory lane!
Bjorn Borg beeing back on Centre Court after so many years was for me the most moving.
@@mjleger4555 You mean Becker. Not Borg.
@@normadesmond6017 Oops! You're right!
@@mjleger4555 yeah. never liked Becker on Centre Court. Or anywhere else... But that's just me.
@@normadesmond6017 People like tennis players or dislike them for various reasons. I disliked McEnroe for the obvious reasons, but my spouse liked him, each of us for different reasons. Can't deny Johnny Mac was a good player, he was, but his attitude sucked! Just like I liked Chris Evert and couldn't stand Billie Jean King! I respect a player's ability, but I detest combative attitudes! I rarely watch pro tennis anymore, it's changed too much. There is NO NEED to grunt and squeal every time you hit the ball, that's just no class! (I don't expect anyone to agree with me and that's fine -- everyone is entitled to their own opinion!)
@@mjleger4555 I hardly watch it anymore either. The time when it was still worthwhile to get out of bed in the middle of the night is long ago. There is no class anymore, no real personalities. The top ten - I only know 3 of them at most and don't care about the others. They must be very good, but I don't have any connection with them. Sad.
Absolutely wonderful historical Wimbledon History. All favorites!! All deserving! God bless all of or tennis heroes!
Does that include in the inverted T drinkers that have lied and deceived us fans from the moment they arrived on the circuit?
Thank you for sharing this amazing moment in Wimbledon History.:)
A Historical Gem For Tennis Fans ! As a youngster, I followed faithfully the exploits of some of these champions on the sport pages.
Brought tears to my eyes
Great to hear the roar of the crowd which greeted Evonne Goolagong Cawley. Pity they misspelled her name CRAWLEY! A magical player whose performances we need to see far more of.
Not only calling her Crawley, but also crediting her with a mixed doubles title she never won! Evonne won the ladies doubles in 1974. Maybe that's what they're thinking of? She's often credited for Helen Cawley's doubles win in 1977 - the year Evonne didn't play Wimbledon!
@M Any particular reason for bringing up in this thread something that probably hardly anyone cares about ?
@@JKMMOC I don't know where you're from sorry. Crawley is a place in the County of West Sussex England. Maybe it's a mistake but they should have got the title right.
@M A good point; but please call it football. That's what it's known as in Britain, its historical organised home. In Europe too, where it's very successful. (Champions League Football Final.) So name change please. Or if you must....give it its original title. Association Football. Cheers mate, 🇬🇧 from Kensington and Chelsea in London.
@M So? Who cares? This video is about tennis.
What a classy ceremony. Great to see Peter Fleming, a true gentleman, responsible for keeping Junior in check in many tournaments. The pride of Chatham, NJ. Good man.
Fleming moved to England...
@M Soccer is boring.
And he was strikingly handsome here! Wow! Like a movie star.
A GREAT player is someone, who makes you feel humbled and exalted at the same time, thankful you witnessed something sublime.
Like the understated elegance of Edberg
Beautifully said!
My idol pistol Pete!! 💕💕💕he is the reason why I got hooked with tennis!
Just saw this terrific array of champions from my and previous and later eras. Seeing those aussie champs from the sixties was really special. I was a ball boy in 1969 at Aust. Open in Brisbane for Laver, Roche, Court, King, Casals, Gonzalez etc. I carried out racquets for Laver and Gonzalez for centre court matches in 1969 - Pancho had 7 racquets all with his name embossed on the covers !! I thought that was the height of stardom !!!! Try carrying 7 racquets as an 11 year old !! I carried Billie Jeans racquets on before a match and after she won she gave me 2 x 20c coins to go and buy us soft drinks and we sat down and chatted in the players area for a time. When Laver played Roche in the semi-final that year it was the longest match in Open history, the players came off after the 3rd set i think to shower and change, the line umpires and ball boys all changed over but i gave my 50c payment to some kid and i took his place to go back out. I knew something special was happening. Laver, Roche, probably the central umpire and me were the only ones to be on the court for the whole match. That's my claim to fame and no-one can take that off me. Laver was the greatest.
great stories
Simply wonderful vignettes and memories. Thank you.
When I was young the Assies were the top players.
What a treasured life you have lived. Thanks for sharing mate. ❤️
what a claim to fame that is. Must have been such great fun.
The greatest moment ever in tennis
Notable y emocionante este espectacular "Recuerdo a los Campeones", que realmente impacta a los que amamos el tenis. Ver cómo se mantiene Rod Laver iDios mío, increíble!! , y Alex Olmedo ??... que hermosas son todavía Chris Evert, Conchita Martínez, Steffi Graff, Martina Navatrilova etc. Y que añoranzas ver a John Mac Enroe, Stefan Edberg que hermoso tenis tenía, Stan Smith un caballero del tenis, Bjon Borg !!! en fin, que bello homenaje. Gracias Wimbledon!!
Such distinguished parade of past champions, a real treat for all the tennis fans !
@M And your point is?
@M Who cares!
Soccer ... 😴 Fest
Immensely enjoyed watching these champions.
It's pretty remarkable that Martina Navratilova would go on and win the Wimbledon mixed title three years later.
Love her and that feat
Yeah, and she didn't have throw her "preference " in EVERYBODIES FACE, AND SHOVE IT DOWN THEIR THROAT.
Yeah , long live lesbos (not really), I wish they would of talked about what Saint Jude said in verse 7.
My favourite, Roger Federer, gave us a masterclass every time he played. he was brilliant.
🥱
Ditto
Yes ROGER is the most iconic in every way
Federer ha sido mucho Federer quizas el mejor tenista de la historia junto a Nadal
Blimey, from the late 60s/early 70s onwards this is like watching a timeline of my life...
Pop culture
Quite agree with you, feel as though I've just been through a time warp of my lifetime also
42:44 Steffi Graf! 👏
Was waiting to hear the name of Jimmy connors,but utter surprised that wimbledon forgot him. He was champion in 1974 and in 1982. A great champion.
He obviously didn't attend,so why would they mention him ?
Probley upset to many people
Why the hell wasn't his name called?
I was missing Jimmy here too. He was my favorite during his era. He must have been invited to this ceremony. Actually, over the years I noticed he doesn’t seem to attend these occasional major reunions at the U.S. Open & Wimbledon. Maybe tennis reunions aren’t his thing. Our loss. 🙁
@@nealzokan2680 because she's normal conservative not WOKE NUT JOB
The incomparable Manolo/Manuel Santana (1938-2021) - the player who inspired me to play the game. The Roger Federer of his era, class, grace and personality.
I miss Roder Federer!❤️
Roger

And Steffi
I remember watching this live, was massively emotional.
Soon 22 years ago.......Good Bless all Gone Legends.
Great parade and acknowledgement of Champions!
very emotional memories, for someone who was attending all these years these tennis legends
@M what has your nonsense got to do with this video?
Amazing how many Australians won titles in the 1950’ through the 1970’s.
The two rich countries mostly unaffected by WW2, USA and Australia.... but I agree, impressive
I was thinking the same
Alex Almedo passed away Dec. 9th 2020, 84 1/2 y.o. R.I.P. Alex.

@@nsa68650 q
loved to watch Sampras playing
Pancho was my favorite. The touch artist and then came Krishnan.
Bunny Austin less than 2 months before his death! One of the first players playing in shorts!
No, Bunny was THE first.
And of course, give it just a year and Goran will be an actual champion!!! This is so beautiful to watch🤩
18.8.21: Bob Falkenberg is still with us! ..95 1/2 years old! Good Bless You!
One year later, Goran. Boom. Probably my favourite Wimbledon winner ever.
Mine to
Great to see these greats and recognise them with tears.
Lovely statement. Tears in my eyes, too.
Thanks for the likes - here's another one. Type in 1969 Australian Open semi final and there is some vision of the match in various videos and in the 6 minute one you'll see a little fella standing at the net at 3 min 30 secs after Roche loses a point to Laver to go up 21-20 in the second set. THAT LITTLE BUGGA IS ME !!! Serve and volley for nearly five hours in 100 degree heat in January in Brisbane. Crazy yeh !
Wat een super uitzending van de champions door de jaren heen
Borg and graf my faves
Martina and Bjorn - Legends
Great Excitement and Feeling Blessed ❤️
This is so classy. They should do stuff like this more often.
Steffi Graf for ever
Amazing how many are still alive. Tennis players seem to live longer than anyone else.
This was a ceremony more than 20 years ago.
@@pauljonkers4359 yes and many are still alive.
I'm born in 67, so I haven't seen all these champions play, but I can say that I loved McEnroe, Edberg, Borg, but if I have to be honest, the player that most of all excited me for her attack game on the grass was Martina Navratilova, never again anyone like her
I was also born in '67 and a huge Chrissie fan back in the day!!
@@sallyphillips9175 Me too, I loved Chris Evert
Great to see all the greats together.
The most memorable things that happened in history of Wimbledon tennis.
Sorry to say that Tony Trabert passed away february 3rd 2021. 90 1/2 y.o. R.I.P.
18:20 and the next year Goran * did * have the 'last laugh'. Winning Wimbledon in a fairytale story that never gets old.
Was so happy when Goran won Wimbledon the following year such a fabulous match .
brilliant win. tim had it won but then the rain came...
Martina Navratilova ...........The GREATEST EVER !!!!
Bob(Robert) Falkenberg; January 29, 1926 - January 6, 2022.Good Bless you Hero!
The bromantic love in Johnny Mac's eyes when Peter Fleming's name was called.

Very sad that Ashley Cooper passed away may 22nd 2020, 83 1/2 y.o. R.I.P. Ashley.
Best female for me was Martina, she was incredible to watch....
Martina was probably the most exciting female player to watch in the history of the game.
Disagree Steffi was greater
@@DavidJohnson-yq4nz If Gunther Parche had not stabbed Monica Seles, Steffi Graf wouldn't be the great you think she is.
I agree. Martina played the most exciting, glamorous all-court game in the history of women's tennis.
Can't believe this is more than 20 years ago.
The synonym for transcendence is Rafa. Just to be clear that transcendence is not in the category of superlatives. Transcendence is the dissolution of thought that attempts to describe. It is prior to and beyond every description. Rafa is not superhuman. On the contrary, he is fully human - he fully embraces suffering, he fully breathes self-doubt, he fully respects each and every player, each and every human being across the planet, he fully respects every tennis 🎾 racquet if he's not smashed a single one, he fully loves Real Madrid, he fully respects Roger and Novak, he fully loves humanity. Transcendence when lived is humility, humility, humility. Rafa!
Or, to put it another way, he's a nice bloke and a good tennis player.

La cosa assurda è che a quel tempo mancava ancora un titolo di Wimbledon alla Navratilova! Doppio misto, 2003. Che leggenda!!
We needed Arthur Ashe to be honored, Could they not have at least mentioned him? I know he died but seriously. One of the greatest champions ever.
So TRUE!
Leslie Lees... Don't be ridiculous... This event was for the living and able to assist to this ceremony in the year 2000. Many Wimbledon Champions were alive but could not assist, and they were not mentioned either. So many Great Wimbledon Champions died in over 100 years Wimbledon has been played, so why mention some and others not?
